Newborn Sessions From A Newport Beach Photographer’s Perspective

As a photographer specializing in newborn sessions, I am continually humbled by the opportunity to capture the innocence and wonder of a family’s precious little miracle. Each session is filled with tender moments, delicate details, and an abundance of love. Here, I offer a glimpse into my world behind the lens, where every click is a precious memory in the making.

PREPARATION IS KEY

A successful newborn session begins long before the camera ever clicks. Communication with the parents is important, ensuring they understand the process and what to expect during the session. I provide detailed guidance on preparing the baby, such as keeping them well-fed and cozy to facilitate those sleepy, peaceful poses that our studio is known for.

CREATING A PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT

The gentle lighting in our studio creates a warm and inviting space where both baby and parents can feel at ease. I aim to make the session as comfortable and stress-free as possible, allowing the magic to unfold naturally.

THE ART OF PATIENCE

Newborn photography is a delicate dance that requires patience and a keen eye for detail. Babies, with their unpredictable sleeping patterns and occasional bouts of fussiness, dictate the rhythm of the session. I allow your little one to dictate the flow while remaining alert and ready to capture those adorable features that make every baby unique.

SAFETY FIRST

Above all, the safety and well-being of your newborn are non-negotiable. I adhere to strict safety protocols, never compromising the baby's comfort or security for the sake of a photograph. From supporting their delicate necks to ensuring they are never left unattended on elevated surfaces, every precaution is taken to guarantee a safe and secure environment throughout the session.

In the end, newborn photography is more than just capturing images; it's about celebrating life's most precious gift and documenting the loving bond between parent and child. Through my lens, I strive to capture the essence of this fleeting moment in time, creating timeless treasures that will be cherished for a lifetime.

At 6 months, they are reacting to their surroundings with sweet facial expressions and their unique little personalities are starting to shine. We just love those adorable giggles!

Why It’s Important To Capture 6-Month Portraits With Newport Beach Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of capturing this sweet family's newborn session and you can see by the photos just how quickly your little one grows. We are looking forward to building her baby's first year album over the year. 

1. Time Flies

Time has a way of slipping by fast, especially in the early months when everything is such a blur. From the tiny, fragile newborn they once were, your 6-month-old is quickly discovering the world around them. Some babies can now sit with support, while some may even be attempting to roll.  

2. It's a fun stage 

Six months is a time when your baby becomes more interactive and responsive. Their faces become more expressive and reveal glimpses of their emerging personality. Capturing their special uniqueness at this age will help you remember the unfolding personality of your precious little one. 

3. You won't regret it 

In the whirlwind of parenting, you will never regret taking the time to pause and capture these fleeting moments that will last a lifetime. These images become cherished memories that transport you back to the joy and wonder of your baby’s first year.

In the blink of an eye, the first six months of your baby’s life bring about many changes. Your portrait session is not only about creating beautiful images; it’s about celebrating the journey of growth and creating a visual legacy that will be cherished for years to come.

2023 Santa’s Magical Experience In Newport Beach Studio

This year marks the 5th anniversary of Santa’s special visit to our Newport Beach studio! What a blessing it has been to document timeless memories with many families that have been with us since the first event. Becoming a special holiday tradition, it is so heartwarming to watch the children grow over the years. It was wonderful photographing cherished moments with new faces as well. This year we pulled out all the stops to create an amazing event that captured the joy of the season.

One of our most anticipated events of the year, the studio is transformed into a winter wonderland, with twinkling lights, festive decor and a cozy spot where Santa takes center stage.

Our young visitors ranged in age from 6 months to 11 years old. Santa interacted with the kids on a personal level and knew them each by name. He patiently listened to what the little ones hoped for while they shared their wish list. Santa read from his favorite book and checked to make sure that they were on the Nice list. Before they left, he handed them a special keepsake, a silver bell engraved with the the word “Believe”. On the way out of the session, each child received a special gift bag, a balloon, and had fun taking photos with a balloon arch addition we added this year. 

Some families chose our VIP experience, which included making sure Santa knew the child’s hobbies, sports, etc. The look of surprise and delight on their faces when he mentioned these special details perfectly captured the spirit of the season.  

We all know how chaotic it can be waiting for photos with Santa in long lines at the mall. By the time it is your little one’s turn, patience has worn thin and you are lucky to get one good photo. Going beyond a simple snapshot, our personalized experience helps your child ease into their special visit. Some stare in wide-eyed wonder meeting Santa for the first time, while others would rather watch from a distance. Capturing this holiday magic is the reason our event sells out every year. 

Santa’s jolly presence continues to light up the faces of children and adults alike year after year. More than just a session; it is a celebration of family, tradition and the joy of the season!

Merry Christmas - see you in 2024!

One Year Cake Smash With Newport Beach Newborn And Family Photographer

That tiny newborn you hold in your arms will soon become a curious little explorer in a blink. We know how quickly the first year goes by and the  importance of documenting these precious memories.

A quick wardrobe change and baby girl was ready for cake. She was curious about the little balloons and then decided to test the cake. I think she liked it! 

GALLERY WALL

Over the year, we installed gallery walls in several areas of their home that can expand over time as the family grows. These images serve as timeless keepsakes, filled with cherished family memories.

Behind The Scenes With Newport Beach Newborn Photographer

Being a photographer for over 10 years now, I have gained a lot of experience and found what works for my portrait studio. 

Many people may think that a photographer just captures the session, edits the photos and that's it. Come join me behind the scenes to see what it looks like working with our studio. 

NEWBORN SESSION PREP 

There is lot of time, preparation, organization and coordinating that goes on before the session itself.  

  • We coordinate with our professional hair and makeup team to ensure they are ready and waiting for you on the day of your session.

  • We offer a variety of beautiful high-end dresses in a range of sizes and colors that are postpartum friendly, steamed and ready when you arrive.

  • We send a list of valuable tips to help the morning of your session run smoothly.

  • Forget your diaper bag, pacifier, wipes? Don't worry, we have all the necessities in studio for you and baby.

THE SESSION 

  • The studio is clean and at a reasonably warm temperature for baby to be comfortable while being swaddled and photographed. 

  • I have an assortment of blankets and swaddles in various shades and colors to be clamped on my beanbag, providing a seamless backdrop. 

  • I use comfortable posing pillows that assist me in posing baby. 

  • My cart is stocked with supplies including hand sanitizer, a white noise machine, diapers, wipes, bows, burp cloths and hand warmers (my hands are normally cold so this helps when touching baby). 

ARRIVAL 

Mom and baby typically arrive at the studio around 9:30am and the hair and makeup team are ready to go. 

I get baby changed and swaddled. If baby needs to eat, Mom can nurse or I can bottle feed. 

I start by getting baby to sleep and posed. I use baby-led posing so that I can capture your baby as they are naturally. 

After I complete all the detail shots and poses of baby, Mom and family are usually ready to join in. 

After the session, I wash/dry clean all the items that were used so that they are ready for the next session. We schedule one newborn session a day as each session is different and the time it takes can vary from baby to baby.

My portrait studio newborn sessions allow me to focus on your precious little one while creating light and airy photos that your family will cherish.

Why Professional Newborn Portraits are Worth It | Tips From Newport Beach Newborn Photographer

Professional portraits of your precious newborn are worth the investment because they preserve the memory of your baby’s earliest days.

Long days and sleepless nights with your little one can sometimes blur the precious moments you share with them. As time goes by, you will look back and wonder how they were ever that small. 

Hire A Professional 

As a professional newborn photographer, I have the skill, experience and equipment to capture high-quality images of your little one. 

Newborn photography requires special knowledge and training to ensure the safety and well-being of your baby. I am experienced in handling newborns safely and maintain a comfortable and secure environment throughout the session.

Your Memories Will Last

Newborns change rapidly in their first few weeks of life. These portraits capture this fleeting moment in time and become cherished keepsakes that your family will treasure for years to come.

To put it in perspective, many parents invest in strollers, cribs and other baby gear that often have a relatively short period of use compared to the lasting memories captured in your newborn portraits.

Relieve some of your stress

Planning a newborn photo session can be challenging, especially during the hectic and sleep-deprived early days of parenthood. That is why it is important to find a full-service portrait studio that will take care of everything for you. 

The convenience of a dedicated studio space allows you to relax and enjoy the experience. You don’t have to clean your house, you can just show up in yoga pants!

Our luxury full-service studio handles all the details. We schedule your appointment with our professional hair and makeup stylist. Our client wardrobe offers a wide variety of clothing for the entire family. No need to shop and coordinate outfits, your wardrobe will be steamed and ready when you arrive.

Most do 3-4 sessions depending on when baby is born. These images create a beautiful narrative of baby’s growth and capture subtle shifts in expression and personality.

MILESTONES

At each stage, you will have updated portraits to remind you just how much your little one has grown. Siblings are always welcome and it is so heart warming to document the special bond between them. We will work together to choose favorite portraits to design art work to display in your home and to add to our gorgeous heirloom albums personalized for your family. 

STRESS-FREE EXPERIENCE

Our stress-free portrait experience is a favorite with busy moms. We take care of everything, so there is no need to coordinate appointments and shop for outfits for your session. We provide personalized styling for the entire family. Our Client Closet includes a wide variety of beautiful high-end dresses for mom, children’s clothing and shirts for dad. 

Before the session, mom can enjoy some well-deserved pampering with our professional hair and makeup stylist

Our calendar fills up quickly with families returning to us with their next pregnancies. We book a limited number of sessions each month, so it is important to get on calendar as soon as possible to guarantee your spot. When you look back on the beautiful images of baby’s first year, you will be grateful you did!

Newborn Baby Photographer Newport Beach, CA

Did you know that most of our clients book a baby’s first year membership? A lot of first time parents don’t realize how quickly the first year goes by until they view the artwork hanging in our studio and see the newborn through one year images side by side. 

Maureen and Brad were the sweetest parents and so full of joy with the birth of their baby boy Adam. We know the early days with your newborn can become a blur, so we are here to help preserve those special moments in time with your little one.

FULL-SERVICE EXPERIENCE

I started with baby Adam’s solo portraits while Mom received some well-deserved pampering by our professional stylist. After sleepless nights caring for your newborn, the last thing you want to do is coordinate appointments. That’s why we offer hair and makeup services that our Moms just love. 

Mom looked simply beautiful in a sheer white dress chosen from our Client Closet. After capturing lots of adorable images of baby boy, Mom and Dad joined in. Baby Adam was so sweet and content! The family’s happiness and love just radiates in these images. It really is such a privilege to capture these first family photos. 

I am honored to watch Adam grow this year and excited to document these special moments for this loving family!

Eight Week Old Baby Boy Newborn Session In Newport Beach Studio

Baby Michael was the cutest and I was so happy to photograph him at eight weeks old. At this age, your little one is more alert and developing a range of expressions, including those adorable smiles. He showed his unique personality a little more than the normal 2 week old newborns we document.

FULL-SERVICE EXPERIENCE

While mom enjoyed relaxing with our professional stylist, I captured solo photos of baby Michael. He was just so adorable and content!

Mom was simply gorgeous in a sheer white off the shoulder dress she picked from our Client Closet, while big sister looked so sweet in a coordinating white dress and headband. Our clients appreciate the wide range of high-end dresses to choose from, along with our selection of clothes for the rest of the family. Just another reason busy Mom’s choose our full-service experience

Mom, Dad and big sister Audrey joined baby boy. Audrey was so sweet and gentle. You can just see how much she adores her baby brother. These beautiful images serve as a wonderful reminder of the love that surrounds baby Michael. 

We will be growing his baby’s first year album just like we did with sister. We know how important it is to see your memories on the pages of a gorgeous album to be passed down to generations. Realizing just how overwhelming putting an album together can be, we have simplified the process for you.
